| Abstract | Lactobacillus sakei is a lactic acid bacterium important in food microbiology mainly due to its ability to ferment and preserve meat. The genome sequence of L. sakei strain 23K has revealed specialized metabolic capacities that reflect the bacterium’s adaption to meat products, and that differentiate it from other LAB. An extensive genomic diversity analysis was conducted to elucidate the core features of the species, and to provide a better comprehension of niche adaptation of the organism. Here, we describe the genomic comparison of 18 strains of L. sakei originating mainly from processed meat against the 23K strain by comparative genome hybridization. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to estimate the genome sizes of the strains, which varied from 1.880 to 2.175 Mb, and the 23K genome was among the smallest. Consequently, a large part of the genome of this strain belongs to a common gene pool invariant in this species. The majority of genes important in adaption to meat products, the ability to flexibly use meat components, and robustness during meat processing and storage were conserved, such as genes involved in nucleoside scavenging, catabolism of arginine, and the ability to cope with changing redox and oxygen levels, which is indicative of the role these genes play in niche specialization within the L. sakei species. Moreover, an additional set of sequenced L. sakei genes beyond the 23K genome was present on the microarray used, and it was demonstrated that all the strains carry remnants of or complete bacteriocin operons. The genomic divergence corresponded mainly to five regions in the 23K genome, which showed features consistent with horizontal gene transfer. Carbohydrate-fermentation profiles of the strains were evaluated in light of the CGH data, and for most substrates, the genotypes were consistent with the phenotypes. We have demonstrated a highly conserved organization of the L. sakei genomes investigated, and the 23K strain is a suitable model organism to study core features of the L. sakei species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
